Board structures for Sports National Governing Bodies

At last week’s CEO Convention of the SRA (the Sport and Recreation Alliance, which was formerly the CCPR) the majority of the discussion was around the appropriate board structures for what are effectively publicly funded bodies. The likelihood of greater public interest and scrutiny in the run up to the 2012 Olympics perhaps fuelling a desire for the sports sector to ensure that in this regard at least, everything is in order.

truly committed to the sports sector

Like many people, sport is an important part of my life. In the past I was a keen water skier and competed nationally and internationally for over 10 years.

emergency Budget: economic and public spending review

Whilst our tax team concentrates on the proposed changes to the taxation system and our core markets in not for profit, real estate, media and marketing services, financial services sector and the like (see separate blog posts), others within the practice are perhaps more interested in the general impact of the broader economic measures. In my role as a Board member of the international association MSI I am particularly interested in how the Budget changes are likely to alter the attractiveness of the UK for international companies and investors.
